• Comment to those looking at my sermons: Encourage my efforts by giving me your sincere feed back as I strive to become a better servant and preacher
• Sermon or series that made a difference: Teaching/Preaching the four gospels has been a transforming reality series for me!
• One of my favorite illustrations: "A rich child comparing her fathers material possessions to a poor childs contrast through understanding of her heavenly Fathers wealth & poverty"
• Family: I'm a father of three children, and embrace the joy of family through spiritual development!
• What my parents think of my sermons: They feel encouraged by them
• What my spouse (really) thinks of my sermons: She enjoys the inspiration, and uncompromising balance in my spiritual and natural life
• Best advice given to me about preaching: "ALWAYS be yourself and never make the people happy twice...happy that your finish, and happy that you sat down."
• Books that have had an impact: "Coaching Your Kids", and "No Apology Necessary" by Dr. Huey Fransler
• Hobbies: Reading, writing, traveling, basketball, and art
• If I could Preach one more time, I would say...: Give your LIFE now - for SALVATION lies in our Lord, and savior Jesus Christ
• Something funny that happened while preaching: I lost my train of thought, and began preaching from a totally different subject!
• What I want on my tombstone: ...It doesn't really matter because I wont be there anyway
